computer question: opening an xls file.

I have entered a winter running challenge and the spreadsheet I fill out/send in is an xls file. I do not have the windows office program and I am guessing this is why I cannot "manipulate" the sheet. Would that be correct?
Thanks.....

If you use google docs which is free you will be able to open it and manipulate it.

OpenOffice. Free office software suite and replicates much of Microsoft Office's functionality. And did I mention its free?
